"A proletarian internationalist," said he, "is one who, without any conditions, openly and honestly ... is ready to defend the Soviet Union...
...Many Watches? Dubinsky's life is the union. Immensely likable, he is cordial to everyone, but intimate with no one. He takes home to dinner anybody he happens to be working with.

Her nearest competitor was sultry, dark-haired Yolanda Ortiz, candidate of the traffic cops (the police department had its own candidate). Almost everyone in Mexico City knew that they were running a close race, but that...
...been hung a long time, so you can smell the bouquet. Very enjoyable to the educated nose. But if you offer it to the workers they will throw the rotten duck out, unless they throw it in your face.
